We do not include 7th and 8th grades. They are in confirmation and therefore they are "required" to attend a one hour class on Wednesday evenings and one hour of Sunday School in order to complete the confirmation material. This is done during the winter (during school months). For the most part the kids miss at least 50% of the time. Few show up for Sunday mornings. I don't feel they get much of anything out of the classes. I would like to see a curriculum designed for them. They are bored with sitting in class like they do all day at school. If we could include a mix of hands on "fun" learning material as well as tradition they might enjoy it more and learn more from it.
Reply to "Middle Schoolers, Junior Highs in Rotation?"
Our Rotation Sunday School includes Pre-school through 6 grade. Pre-school class has a designated room, "Lukes Little Angles" and that is where we do the lesson and some activities. Some days they may go to the arts and crafts area, kitchen, or movie. I adapt materials to suit them. They have one teacher who is with them all the time, plus helpers. Sometimes we will do an activity with the older rotations.
